Mingo, 27, was initially drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first-round (No. 6 overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft and spent three seasons with them. In August of 2016, he was traded to the New England Patriots for a 2017 fifth-round pick where he would spend the full regular-season and eventually help the team to win Super Bowl LI. In 2017, he elected to sign a one-year deal with the Colts, which means he’ll be a free agent Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST if the Colts don’t re-sign him or another team agrees to a contract in principle with him.

With Paul Posluszny announcing his retirement, the Jags could be looking at Mingo to come in and play as a strongside linebacker, which would allow Myles Jack to move to the middle linebacker position. Then again, they could see him as a reserve similar to how they viewed Lerentee McCray last season.

Since entering the league, Mingo has started in a total of 23 games while appearing in 78. In the process, he’s managed to rack up a total of 104 tackles, nine sacks and three forced fumbles.
